Beaumont Man Passes Bad Check and Drives Stolen Car

It wasn't a good weekend for Rodney Jermaine Johnson. The 36-year-old was attempting to pass a forged check Friday night at the T&J Food Market when the clerk became suspicious and called police.

When police arrived, they discovered that Johnson was indeed trying to pass a forged check. Making matters worse for Johnson was that police also discovered he was driving a stolen car out of Dallas. He was taken to the Jefferson County Jail and his bond was set at $7500. The Beaumont Police said in a release that more charges are pending against Johnson.
